In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen. Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.

Kiwis are now able to download their Covid vaccination certificate, called 'My Vaccine Pass'.

Anyone who is fully vaccinated can request a pass by visiting mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478. The vaccine pass can be downloaded as an image on your phone, added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay, or printed out as a hard copy.

Covid-19 Minister Chris Hipkins has asked people to be patient and request their passes over the next few days, as the website has already seen an overwhelming demand since it was launched this morning.

Passes will not be required to access essential businesses such as schools, supermarkets, or pharmacies, but more details on how they will be implemented are expected to be outlined in the press conference at 1pm today.

What you need to know:

• You can request a vaccine pass at mycovidrecord.nz or by calling 0800 222 478.
• If you don't receive an email with your pass within 24 hours, email the My Covid Record team on help@mycovidrecord.min.health.nz or call 0800 222 478. Check your spam folder first.
• The pass will be required later this year to enter some businesses and venues.
• There are separate passes you can request for domestic use and international travel.

🦁 Hi, I'm Alister & it wasn't that long ago I'd lost my Mojo. This is about how I got it back.
🦁 I enjoyed a successful career in retail banking. I had a great mentor who introduced me to Personal Development - Mojo aplenty. Later I owned a commercial real estate business - success aplenty - I loved my life.
🦁 Adventure called; I sold my business to embark on a 2 year OE based in London. Returning to NZ in my 50s left unfulfilling job options. We bought a small business that sadly went bust. I lost my equity, home, marriage & Mojo & even considered bankruptcy. I KNEW there was an opportunity right for me that would get my Mojo & lifestyle back... so I went looking.
🦁 I now run a successful Online Business Model in the Personal Development & Wealth Creation industries. I am beyond words rewarded by mentoring others looking to get their Mojo back like I was. Visit www.DreamBigNewZealand.co.nz... to find out if this is a solution to the change you seek.
